Ebike is a good solution. I ride 20 minutes to work and never show up sweaty. The breeze works better than AC to keep me cool even on 85F+ days. I invested in a good rain jacked with helmet compatible hood and a pair of rain pants and I am

I couldn't disagree more. If possible, always interview with companies you really want to work at later in the process (its often not possible, but this should be plan A.)

Why does that seem crazy to you? Some artificial interventions in the earth's natural processes are bad for humans (global warming, increased rate of desertification) and some interventions are good for humans (increasing land availabl

I don't understand the argument that you have to rewrite your application everytime React introduces a new feature. My current company is using a React app, built on top of Create-React-App, and still has some class components sprinkle

I 100% agree about traffic enforcement cameras. The article makes it sound like these cameras are not intended to enforce traffic laws but rather track the location of every car it scans to aid in solving other types of crime.

Should we stop trying to enforce laws because people try to evade enforcement?

The article makes it sound like these cameras aren't intended to enforce traffic laws but rather help solve other crimes that were aided by a car in some way.

The article doesn't mention window tint...but I couldn't imagine that is having 0 effect. Anecdotally about half the cars I see have very dark tint on the driver and passenger window, making it nearly impossible to see a pedestria

You're only insulated so long as don't have to move. Very few people stay in 1 house for thirty years. If you own a house you are now stuck there - hope you don't need to move for a new job, hope you don't want to have a

People are unhappy about housing. If you own a house with a fixed rate mortgage then inflation will have a heavily muted effect on your personal financial situation since your (most likely) largest expense isn't effected. However, peop

I worked on a very large production rails app from 2015-2019 and came away loving Rails and hating Ruby. Give me Rails in TS or Go and I couldn't think of any reason to ever use anything else for a web app backend. The Rails Console ha

Or for a couple grand more you can get a base model Subaru with symmetrical AWD and a it will easily get to 200k+ miles.

Agreed. If they had this mixed with some sort of inpatient rehab I could see it offering a lot of hope to some really in-need people.

It shows up on all 3, I think it might be a labeling issue. My guess is that its a classified as a "convenience store", but in reality its closer to a coffeeshop and bottleshop that sells pantry items.

This underscores how important small businesses are to the health of a city. I live a in less walkable neighborhood on this map - but about a year ago a small (tiny really, ~700sqft) corner store opened up 2 blocks from me. It sells coffee,

I don't exactly know how this bill works, but I wouldn't consider banning the public sale of something to be the same as forcing someone to do something. Presumably even if it's illegal to sell tobacco in a store it could sti

Why not just grand-father in all current state driver's licenses and let the migration happen naturally as people renew?

When I see stuff like this sometimes I get depressed that I'm building apps that just move little bits of information around the web and don't have any real demonstrable value to the world. How hard is the jump into the realm of c

I was at Meta when this was tweeted and I think he must be referring to mostly internal apps. AFAIK the only part of the FB app that was heavily React Native was FB Marketplace. By 2021 there were edicts in some departments that absolutely

I wouldn't say its the only way we know, rather its the only politically feasible move. Increasing taxes on the wealthy would arguably be a more effective way to take money out of the economy and wouldn't hurt non-wealthy people a

This could be considered a good thing. The whole point of increasing interest rates is to lower business investment and consumer purchasing power, which is what we need to do to combat inflation (or magically fix all supply chain issues.)

How about the delivery trucks block car traffic instead of bike traffic.

I would love to see more bills where Democrats provide more police funding but tie it to accountability reforms like this one. Seems like a winning move.

It gets rid of plenty of performing/overperforming engineers too because it is exhausting.

I mean people there aren't stupid and there is a fairly high engineering bar, your code won't get through review if you're doing stuff like that. Where it really digs is when you are 1.5 weeks into writing an in depth project

Diff count/LoC count is recorded and made publicly available for all engineers in a graph that lets you easily compare metrics between developers and teams. This means if you are constantly comparing your output to the rest of the team

The pay is near top and the engineers are talented. There are a lot of systems in place to get you to work near max capacity all the time with little slowdown time. There are lots of processes and political upheavals that make it hard to sh
